The christmas concert at Sir William Turner's Almshouses at Kirkleatham is a complete sell out.

Tickets for the concert, on Tuesday, December 13 sold out last week.

Because of this, the organisers regret that no tickets will be available at the door prior to the concert.

"This is the fourth time that members of the Rosedale G&S Society has presented a Christmas Concert for us and tickets seem to fly out more quickly every year," said Peter Sotheran, Chairman of the Almshouses' Trustees.

Proceeds will be used for the benefit of residents of the almshouses which rely almost entirely on voluntary contributions to support the twenty-five sheltered houses in the 17th century building.
